2 lbs Skirt or Flank Steak
2 cans cannelloni beans
1 large red onion
3 T balsamic vinegar
2 T olive oil
1 T chopped rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried
juice of 1 lemon

1. In a medium pan over medium heat, cook the onion in half of the olive oil for about 10 min. until it's soft and slightly brown. Add the vinegar and cook for another 5 min.
2. Heat a pot with the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, beans, and rosemary and cook for 5 min. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
